The Case: Jonathan Moore v. Byer California

The case, Jonathan Moore v. Byer California, hinges on Moore's classification as a nonexempt hourly employee. As such, he is entitled to legally required meal and rest periods and payment of minimum and overtime wages due for all time worked for his employer. According to the plaintiff, Jonathan Moore, the defendant regularly required workers to work during their off-duty meal breaks, allowed work assignments to interrupt employees' off-duty breaks, and employed a rounding system as a standard practice that benefitted the employer by rounding hours down, which allegedly resulted in employees receiving less pay than they would if the company paid their workers for actual time worked without the rounding system.
